coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 06/01/2021 4:30 pm I usually use the three die scratch pattern. If they are a match, then I'm pretty sure it is the real deal. On this one I see at least that. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 06/01/2021 4:44 pm Die scratches flatten quickest on the open fields. The die scratches next to a device, lasts longer. Die scratches inside of the a closed device, lasts longest. But on these two coins, to me they appear a match, just different die states. The stronger dies scratches eventually fade to the more worn die. (Yours being a later die strike example) Edited by coop 06/01/2021 4:44 pm Report this Post to the Staff
